Position on Medical Marijuana

Raleigh News & Observer Voter Guide:

SHOULD MEDICAL MARIJUANA BE LEGALIZED IN NORTH CAROLINA?

Yes.

Indy Week Primary Questionnaire 4/28/22:

I support passing the North Carolina Compassionate Care Act which has bipartisan support in the NC Senate. It sets a list of conditions by which patients with certain conditions, or in hospice, would be allowed to use marijuana as treatment. I would support that legislation when it comes before the NC House. I am open to learning more about how legalizing recreational marijuana would benefit our State economically, as it has in other states.
